To all whom t may concern):

Be it known that I, JOHN B. OLIGR citizen of the United States,residingl in the city and county of Denver and State of` Colorado, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Genealogical Records;and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled lin theart to which it appertains to make `and use the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to the characters of referencemarked,l thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements ini genealogical records, my objectbeing to proj vide `a`book for this purpose, the leaves ofi which are soconstructed and arranged that those containing ldata with reference to'ag considerable number of persons either in the ancestry or ltheposterity line, may be turned, while the leaf containing the name yofthe person whose ancestors, or the persons Whose posterity is to beconsidered,

has a portion exposed containing the nameA of such person or persons.For instance,

referring :first to lthe ancestry line, my im.

ln the accompanying drawings I haveE illustrated my improved recordtosuch ex- -tent as I have considered necessary, and in.

this drawing it must 'be understood that the leaves of the recordheretofore outlined, which are not disclosed, are substantially arepetition of the leaves which are illustratad.

In this drawing: Figure 1 is a view of the record looking at the firstleaf of the ancestral record of the fathers side of the family, thelower portion of two other leaves of the record being disclosed. Fig. 2is a view of the same with certain of the shortest leaves removeddisclosing completely a leaf of medium length and the lower portion ofone of the leaves of greatest length. Fig. 3 is a view of one of thelongest leaves alone. Fig. 4 illustrates the record so far as it relatesto posterity.

Throughout the drawings the edges of the various sheets are indicated byfull lines,

v.while ruling lines, etc., upon the sheets, are indicated by brokenlines.

Referring1 now to the drawing, it will be seen that t e first leaf adisclosed in Fig. `1 1s adapted to contain data Aconcerning onegrandfather and the corresponding greatgrandfather and thegreat-grandmother of the person whose name is to be written on the lowerpart of the third sheet. The lirst leaf a 1s also ada ted to containdata concerning relatives ofp the grandfather lof Vthe saine generation,as great-uncles and great-aunts. 4

The portion of the leaf which extends below the first leaf is adapted tocontain the name of the father, of self or the name of the person whosename is to be written on the lower. part of the third leaf. rlhis leafZ) (see Fig'. 2) is also adapted to contain data concerning relatives ofthe father of the same generation, as uncles and aunts of .self, 4andalso data with reference to relatives of the father ofthe secondgeneration, as cousins of. self.

Between the first leaf a and the leaf b villustrated in thedrawing theremust be a second leaf a in the recor of the same size ,as thefirst leafa, and adapted to contain data concerning one grandmother of self, andthe corresponding great-grandparents on the fathers side, together withdata concerning the grandmothers relatives of the same generation, asgreat-uncles and greataunts of self. However, as this leaf containingdata with reference to the grandmother is a repetition in every respectof the first leaf except that the word grandmother is used in place ofthe word grandfather on the line where the grandmothers name is to bewritten, it does not appear necessary to disclose this in detail in thedrawing.

Between the first leaf b illustrated in the drawing, or the leaf ada tedto contain the name of the father of se f, on its extended portion, andthe leaf c containing the name of self, there should be three leavesthat is, one

leaf I) and two leaves a adapted to contain v Passing now to the leaf cof the ancestry lrecord illustrated in the drawing, this leaf (see Fig.3) contains the name of self on its lower portion, while its up erortion or thatJ normally concealed by t e ot er leaves, is adapted tocontain data concerning relatives of self of the same generation, asbrothers and sisters, and relatives of self of a generation onceremoved, as nieces and nephews.

The foregoing may be designated or considered Part I of the ancestryrecord. Following this is a Part II of the ancestry record which is arepetition of Part I, it being understood, however, that the two selvesin Part I and Part II respectively are of the opposite sex, being thehusband and wife hereinafter referred to in the posterity record.

Referring now to Fig. 4 which is intended to illustrate the posterityrecord, this view discloses the first sheet d in full, a sheet epartially (the upper extremity thereof only being seen), and the upperportion only of the last sheet f. The sheet f is adapted to contain thenames of the husband and wife whose posterity is to be recorded in thepreceding sheets, being the two selves referred to in the ancestryrecord.

The sheets dof this posterity record are adapted to contain the names ofthe grandchildren and greatrandchildren of the said husband and wi e,together with other data concerning these individuals.

The first sheet e extends above the sheets d and is adapted to containthe name of the eldest child of the husband and wife, together withother data concerning this child. The name of the child is to be writtenon a line which is designated by the numeral l The names of thegrandchildren and great-grandchildren appearing on the first leaf d arethe children and the childrens children of the eldest child, or of theone whose name appears on the rst leaf e.

Between the leaf f illustrated in the drawing, or the last leaf of theposterity record, and the rst leaf e of this record, is any desirednumber of pairs of leaves, each pair being a repetition ofthe first andsecond leaves of the posterity record, depending on the number ofchildren of the husband and wife. For instance, the second pair ofleaves are adapted to contain the name of the second child which iswritten on the second leaf of this pair, together with other dataconcernin the second child, while the first leaf of tie second paircontains the names of the grandchildren and greatgrandchildren of thehusband and wife, being the children and the childrens children of thesecond child; and so on, there being a pair of leaves devoted to eachchild of the husband and wife.

The last leaf f, in addition to the names of the husband and wife, isadapted to contain other data concerning these individuals,

which data may be written or printed on the portion of this last leafwhich is normally concealed by the other leaves..

Attention is called to the fact that the leaves of the record areremovable; the perforations g at the left of the sheets in the drawingare indicated to disclose this feature. Attention is also called to thefact that as the ancestry record has its short leaves shortened at thebottom while the posterity record has its short leaves shortened at thetop, there is no opportunity for paging these leaves either at the topor at the bottom in the usual wa I therefore place the page numbers on te right-hand edge of the center approximately of the longest sheets, andthe page numbers of the shorter leaves in a corresponding position, thusmaking it prac ticable to have the page numbers of all the leavescorrespondingly and conveniently arranged for reference.

By virtue of the variation in the length of the various sets of leavesof the book, a complete line of direct ancestry or posterity for one ormore individuals may be disclosed at a single view without turning anyleaves, the direct ancestry or posterity line being continued to apredetermined generation.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:

1. A genealogical record bool; including three leavesvarying in length,the first leaf being the shortest, the last leaf, the longest, theexposed portions of the under leaves being located upon the same side ofthe book, the normally exposed portion of the last leaf bearing indiciafor the name of the person whose genealogy is contained in the record,the normally exposed portion of the leaf next above bearing indicia forthe name of the person belonging to a generation once removed, theadjacent portion of the first leaf bearing indicia for data concerning aperson belonging to the third generation, the remaining portion of eachleaf bearing indicia for data concerning the brothers and sisters of thesaid respective persons, the indicia being such that the said personsare those in a dlrect line of descent, and the exposed indicia of eachleaf serving as an index for that which is concealed.

2. A record of the class described, comprising a series of leaves, thefirst two leaves containing indicia for data with reference to the twograndparents and the corresponding four great-grandparents of self onthe fathers side, the third leaf extending below the first two leaves,its exposed portion containing indicia for data concerning the father,the normally concealed portion of this leaf containing indicia for dataconcerning the fathers relatives of the same generation, the fourth andfifth leaves bein of the same size as the first two leaves, an

containing indicia for data concerning the tvvo grandparents and thecorresponding four great-grandparents of self on the mothers side; thesixth leaf being of the same length 4as the third leaf, its portionwhich extends below the fourth and fifth leaves containing indicia fordata concerning the mother of self, the portion of this leaf concealedby the fourth and fifth leaves containing indicia for data concerningrelatives of theinother of the same' generation; While the last leaf,Which is the longest, has an exposed portion extending beloW all theother leaves and containing indicia for data concerning self, thenormally concealed portion of this leaf containing indicia for dataconcerning relatives of self of the same generation.

3. A genealogical record book having a set of leaves of increasinglength from the :first to the last, each of said leaves bearing indiciafor data concerning related persons of the same generation, the leavesbeing so positioned in 'the book that the different generations shall bearranged in regular order progressively from one end of the bool; to theother, the indicia being so arranged upon the leaves that normallyindicia for data concerning a complete line of direct ancestry will beexposed. w

A. A book having a set of leaves of unequal lenvth, the first tWo leavescontaining indicia for data concerning the grandparents andreat-grandparents of self on one parents side, the third leaf beinfrlonger, its exposed portion containing in icia for data concernin oneparent, its concealed portion containing indlcia for data concerningrelatives of the said parent of the same generation; the fourth andfifth leaves bein of the same size as the first tWo leaves an containingindicia for data concerning grandparents and great-grandparents of selfon the other parents slde; the sixth leaf,

Which is of the same size as the third leaf,

containing on its-portion exposed When the first three leaves are turnedover, indicia for data concerning the other parent, the normallyconcealed portion of this leaf containing indicia for data concerningrelatives of the last named parent of the same generation, the seventhleaf, which is the longest, containing on its exposed portion indiciafor data concerning self, the normally concealed portion of this leafcontaining indicia for data concerning the relatives of self of the samegeneration; a second set of leaves constituting a repetition of thefirst set of leaves and containing indicia for data concerning theancestors of a second self of different sex from that of the' selfreferred to in the first set of leaves; and a third set of leaves ofdifferent length following the first and second sets, the longest leafhavin its top portion exposed and containing in icia for data concerninghusband and Wife, being the two selves heretofore mentioned; a nurnberof shorter leaves immediately preceding the said longest leaf, theshorter leaves respectively containing indicia for data of children ofthe husband and Wife, and the first and shortest leaf of the third setcontaining indicia for data concerning the grandchildren andgreat-grandchildren of the said husband and Wife.

5. A genealogical record composed of a series of leaves superposed oneupon another, each leaf after the first being slightly longer than thepreceding leaf, indicia for data of one generation being placedon eachleaf, and the leaves being consecutively arranged according to thegenerations, the exposed portions of the leaves bearing only indicia forthe data of persons in aA direct line of descent.

In testimony whereof l affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
